Zen Mobility has introduced the Zen Micro Pod. Zen Mobility is based in Gurgaon. Zen Micro Pod is a cargo-specific three-wheeled Light Electric Vehicle (LEV).

The Zen Micro Pod is offered in two models: R5x and R10x. The company claims that with a maximum weight of 150 kilos, it outperforms traditional two-wheelers in load-carrying capability by over 2.5 times. The vehicle has a low operating cost, utilizing only four units of electricity and charging in around one and a half to two hours. The stated range is more than 1kilometres.

The Zen Micro Pod comes with a separate cargo box. Cargo boxes can be customized to match specific needs, including shelves, chilled boxes, open tubs, and more. To prevent theft, these storage units have a safe locking mechanism.

Zen Mobility has collaborated with leasing and rental firms, as well as fleet and third-party logistics (3PL) suppliers, to ensure the Zen Micro Pod's smooth implementation. It can be leased or rented on a monthly basis for a charge of up to Rs 9,999. Factors such as lease type, tenure, and other considerations will influence the leasing or rental fee.
